农业价值链参与者呼吁就如何衡量和扩大可再生农业规模进行广泛的行业协调

The imperative to transition to resilient and regenerative agricultural models

Amidst the escalating climate crisis and compounding agricultural challenges, a shift in our agricultural systems to work with planetary boundaries is becoming increasingly imperative. 农民和农业价值链参与者正在感受到不可持续做法的有害影响. To avert the impending environmental and socio-economic catastrophes, regenerative agriculture emerges as a powerful solution—one that is adaptive, mitigative, and resilient.

The opportunities from regenerative agriculture

再生农业作为应对气候挑战的整体解决方案，势头强劲, reverse biodiversity loss, and enhance soil health. 有远见的农民是在他们的土地上采用再生做法的先驱. However, 扩大可再生农业的规模，使其成为对环境产生重大影响的解决方案，并帮助社会在地球边界内生活, 我们必须立即就如何在农场和供应链层面衡量和奖励成果达成一致.

再生农业作为一种基于自然的解决方案脱颖而出，有可能引发整个农业价值链的系统性变革. Regenerative agriculture is a holistic, 以结果为基础的耕作方法，在生产农产品的同时对土壤健康产生可衡量的净积极影响, biodiversity, climate, water resources and farming livelihoods at the farm and landscape level. It aims to simultaneously promote above- and below-ground carbon sequestration, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, protect and enhance biodiversity in and around farms, improve water retention in soil, reduce pesticide risk, improve nutrient-use efficiency, and improve farming livelihoods.

向有韧性和可再生农业模式过渡的强劲势头

由于几个令人信服的原因，私营部门越来越多地接受可再生农业, the most pressing one being the resilience of their value chains. 农业高度依赖自然提供生态系统服务, making it particularly vulnerable to climate change, biodiversity loss, and water scarcity. 私营部门认识到对再生农业采取整体办法的重要性, one that acknowledges environmental and socio-economic impacts.

公司和金融机构正在从自愿向强制性的正规博彩十大网站排名报告和披露转变, which includes ambitious nature-positive strategies. 对基于自然的解决方案和可再生农业的金融投资正在增加. This influx of financial backing is a lifeline, empowering farmers to make the transition to regenerative agriculture. Currently, 美国和欧盟正在鼓励再生农业的广泛采用, encouraging businesses to champion this cause. Within this context, 提高透明度是确保必要融资以推动转型并通过降低风险赋予农民权力的关键.

Convergence on measurement: the imperative to scale up

To accelerate the scaling of regenerative agriculture, we must converge on an integrated measurement architecture. Today, key challenges must be addressed to accelerate this much-needed alignment, including the lack of consensus on definitions and outcomes, a focus on practices over outcomes, fragmented data collection and reporting, translating global frameworks into local action plans, and a lack of inclusivity of farmers and IPLCs in the process.

As regenerative agriculture gains momentum, 需要建立一种一致的方法来衡量成果的进展. 这将有助于提高企业反对“漂绿”言论的透明度，并释放投资，为转型提供资金.

A space to align on regenerative agriculture metrics

To address these challenges, 正规博彩十大网站(WBCSD)已将加强企业碳绩效问责制列为优先事项, Nature, and Equity. In 2023, WBCSD与“一个地球促进生物多样性事业”联盟成立了一个联合工作组, focusing on Regenerative Agriculture Metrics. 这项合作涉及50多个成员和27个以业务为重点的合作伙伴，代表1100多家企业. The goal of this group is to drive industry-wide convergence and align farm, 景观和全球层面的指标与公司报告，以影响会计, 报告和披露机构为再生农业制定具体的指导方针.

在多利益相关方领域实现全行业融合和协调的及时机会

Simultaneously, 再生农业生态系统正在经历一场深刻的变革，可持续农业倡议平台(SAI Platform)等伙伴组织发挥着至关重要的作用. Their “Regenerating Together Programme,，由食品和饮料行业的33个创始成员最近发布并发起, is an industry-wide, 全球再生农业框架，确保农场层面的环境成果和指标保持一致. Similarly, TextileExchange launched their Regenerative Agriculture Outcome Framework this year, 与他们的850多个时尚品牌在关键指标上保持一致和合作，形成一个再生系统, encouraging collaboration with growers.

To ensure a holistic and farmer centric shift, 将这些举措与更广泛的多利益相关方生态系统结合起来 Regen10 initiative becomes imperative. Regen10是一项多方利益相关者倡议，汇集了来自粮食系统各个方面的代表——从农民、景观管理人员到企业——共同了解再生方法如何为人们带来积极成果, nature and climate. WBCSD很荣幸能成为Regen10的创始合作伙伴，代表私营部门. Together, these efforts would ensure an industry shift, setting a transformative stage for regenerative agricultural systems.

Call to action- Collective effort for regenerative agriculture alignment

再生农业在再生地球的运动中提供了一条独特而有力的前进道路. Farmers, industry actors, 农业价值链上的组织也认识到农业在应对气候变化方面的潜力, reverse biodiversity loss, and strengthen the livelihoods of farming communities. To realize this potential, the adoption of regenerative agriculture must happen urgently, 通过协调一致的努力来标准化度量并克服度量方面的挑战.

It is time to converge all efforts on how we measure, 报告和披露再生农业，以允许更深层次的再生. 私营部门必须与其他利益相关者保持一致，以保障供应链的弹性，并向在地球范围内运作的农业模式过渡. Join us!
